This is the first of two episodes about the complete work on an image. It’s pretty slow, because Rolf is slow on thinking with a thick head from a cold.
The image is from a not so nice part of the town and it shall finally show a certain lost atmosphere. But for that he needs a plan.
Following advice from Vincent Versace’s book “Welcome to Oz” he makes some maps over the image to find a crop and to get the light and contrasts right. The crop is found at the end of the episode, the lighting will follow next week.
If you want to work ahead - the original image with all the work done up to now is in the downloadable companion file. See the top of this posting for a download link.
